Oh, by the way, KamberEdelson, the law firm that filed the class action against Sears over its website exposing customer’s purchase histories? They’re the same folks who successfully sued Sony BMG for selling all those DRM-riddled music CDs. Sears could be in trouble. [Washington Post]

5 years and no more Sears. What will fill the spot? Target? Lowe’s? Ultra K-Marts? More race to the bottom, service is becoming rare. This bodes well for the small scale store keeper and a return to quality, it will of course have a cost and be very European.

@Freedomboy: Just in case no one remembers: Kmart went bankrupt, came out of bankruptcy and bought Sears. That is why it is the Sears holding company and many Kmarts now have an extensive section of Kenmore appliances.

Class action? You’ll get worthless coupons at best. Find something better to do with your time, like go to law school ’cause those lawyers are the only ones who will profit by this. If class action law firms were really interested in your well being, many prior cases would have been handled much better.

There should be a legal guideline benefiting the consumer in a class action case.
